Bora Bora to Rarotonga

DAY 21, LEG 85 - Bora Bora to Rarotonga

Thanks to our seaplane connection from the overnight resort in Bora Bora to the airport we started a little later than usual today.  More island hopping is planned as we continue our way across the Pacific Ocean.  We are heading to the island of Rarotonga, an associated state of New Zealand, and the largest of the Cook Islands.  Unsurprisingly the international airport has connections to New Zealand but also a leisure route to Los Angeles, California.
